Michel Salgado believes that Barcelona are the favorites

Michel Salgado used to perform with Real Madrid for around 10 years and it was with them where he truly managed to stand out and make a name for himself as the Spanish defender was a regular starter for Real Madrid in almost every single season that he spent at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Salgado helped Real Madrid in winning a number of trophies including: La Liga, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup just to name a few of the pieces of silverware that he lifted wearing the traditional white jersey.

Even though Salgado is a huge supporter of Real Madrid, he has recently voiced his opinion in relation to which club are the favorites on winning the Spanish League, La Liga and Michel Salgado stated that Barcelona are the clear favorites.

Barcelona has been dominating the Spanish League with successive league victories for the past 5 years and it’s easy to see why Michel Salgado has tipped them to win this new 2016-17 season as well but Real Madrid on the other hand won the latest edition of the Champions League and this competition is considered to be the hardest one to win at a club level as it has all the top European clubs competing against each other.
Despite the dominance that Barcelona has shown by winning successive La Liga seasons, ZinedineZidane’s Real Madrid is a team that many people are backing to take the league away from their rivals Barcelona as the French manager came extremely close on accomplishing it during his debut season in charge of Real Madrid and now he has time to test the waters as well also being able to win the Champions League, this is a feat that not many managers can say to have done during their first season in charge of a club.
